    School-based SLPs, we're seeking clinical partners for EASI beta testing. This evaluation platform was developed through National Science Foundation Phase 2 funding by a team of speech-language pathologists, data scientists, engineers, and special educators.

    EASI provides comprehensive analysis in 15 to 30 minutes, record review reports, and secure AI assistance for case consultation. The system helps you brainstorm complex cases, verify your clinical findings, and develop therapy plans within a HIPAA and FERPA compliant environment. Unlike general AI platforms, EASI was purpose-built for clinical workflows with student privacy protections integrated from the ground up.

    Join the beta program at Liricare.com. Your feedback will shape tools designed by field experts who understand the demands of school-based assessment and the ethical requirements of working with student data.

    Sign up to be a beta tester today! https://easi-as.com/#card-v1ul56zcfdrd9j5

    If you’ve been following me here for a while, you already know the kind of work I’m passionate about.

    I’ve shared updates, ideas, and small wins over the years, but today feels a little different.

    This time, I wanted to take a step back and share more about why I’ve been on this journey, and what I’ve learned from the incredible people I’ve had the chance to work with and listen to.

    I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve heard this sentence:
    “I love the work. But keeping up? That’s a different story.”

    It’s almost a universal language among school-based therapists.
    SLPs and OTs, you know exactly what I mean.

    Documentation piling up.
    Sessions back-to-back.
    IEPs.
    Meetings you didn’t even know about until someone pulls you out of your room.

    Every time I sat with a therapist and listened to their day-to-day struggles, I couldn’t help but think of my own family, people close to me who are SLPs themselves.
    I saw how they came home exhausted, not because of their students (they love their students), but because of everything else.

    And honestly? That hit me hard.

    Talented, passionate therapists doing everything right, yet stretched so thin that burnout wasn’t just a risk, it felt inevitable.

    That’s what sparked my drive to build something different.

    Not just another tool.
    Not just another platform full of shiny features.

    We focused on one thing: respect.
    Respect for therapists’ time, their energy, their expertise.

    We wanted to give back a sense of control, to cut through the noise and let therapists focus on what matters most: their students.

    So if you’re reading this and feeling like you’re carrying too much right now…
    Please know: you’re not alone, and it’s not your fault.

    The system isn’t built to make it easy for you. But I believe it can change.
    With better tools. With smarter systems. And with real conversations that keep pushing things forward.

    That’s been my mission, and it’s far from over.

    Here’s to doing the work we love, without losing ourselves along the way.
